But that also meant for us that we could confidently leave the snowshoes and Gr\u00f6deln (microspikes) at home and start a &#8220;normal&#8221; hike. Our destination: the well-known mountain Gr\u00fcnten, the guardian of the Allg\u00e4u. With the transmission tower on the top, it can already be recognized from afar when driving by car from Augsburg in the direction of Allg\u00e4u.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tour data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start and end point:<\/strong> Hiker&#8217;s parking lot &#8220;Auf dem Ried&#8221; at Burgberg, near Gasthof Alpenblick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duration \/ pure walking time:<\/strong> approx. 3:10 h (there and back)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevation overcoming:<\/strong> approx. 800hm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance: <\/strong>9,4 km<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> medium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refreshment stop:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gruentenhaus.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gr\u00fcntenhaus <\/a>(open in winter on weekends in good weather)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The tour on Komoot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.komoot.com\/tour\/1008122995\/embed?profile=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tour description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning, our early rising even paid off on our car ride to the mountains, just behind Augsburg.

We drove the entire tarred road past numerous hiker parking lots to behind the last parking option. Parking cost us 6 euros for the whole day (as of January 2023). We dressed warmly according to the onion system and off we went. First, the path led us along the tarred road and we followed the signs. The climb was initially very moderate and not very strenuous. After a short time, the classic Allg\u00e4u view opened up to us: Lush green meadows, isolated trees and small wooden huts on it and a wonderful mountain panorama in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-allgaeu-wiesen-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"Green meadow, trees and a small hut in the Allg\u00e4u.\" class=\"wp-image-13707\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-allgaeu-wiesen-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-allgaeu-wiesen-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-allgaeu-wiesen-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-allgaeu-wiesen-760x510.jpg 760w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-allgaeu-wiesen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few meters further we turned left from the tarred road and ran past a hut on a forest road.

Every now and then we talked at length about the important things in life, forgetting the time and the effort. Until now, we had not met another person on the hike. I always find the ascent almost meditative after a certain point. The thoughts wander, you are in motion and in nature, you do not have to rush but can simply enjoy the moment and the company. Whether with good conversation or in silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top we took a short break on an idyllic bench, enjoyed the mountain view and waited for the stragglers in our small group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bankerl-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Short break on a bench. \" class=\"wp-image-13728\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bankerl-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bankerl-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bankerl-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bankerl.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-gruentendenkmal-wegweiser-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Signpost to the Gr\u00fcnten monument.\" class=\"wp-image-13730\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-gruentendenkmal-wegweiser-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-gruentendenkmal-wegweiser-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-gruentendenkmal-wegweiser-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-gruentendenkmal-wegweiser.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When our group was then complete again, we continued walking in the direction of the Gr\u00fcnten monument. A stony path led us closer and closer to the &#8211; in my opinion grizzled &#8211; transmission tower on the Gr\u00fcnten. There at the transmission tower is also the mountain station of the cable car that leads up the mountain. However, this had closed at this time of year. Nevertheless, the way to the transmission tower was very beautiful and also the view to the right of us was not to be despised. On the other side of the mountain, Sonthofen and the small village of Burgberg right next to it were also perfectly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-sendeturm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Transmission tower on the Gr\u00fcnten.\" class=\"wp-image-13732\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-sendeturm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-sendeturm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-sendeturm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-sendeturm.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-blick-sonthofen-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Maria looks from the Gr\u00fcnten to Sonthofen.\" class=\"wp-image-13734\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-blick-sonthofen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-blick-sonthofen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-blick-sonthofen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-blick-sonthofen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, we had now encountered a few other people on the hiking trails. From the transmission tower, we finally continued under the railroad across tiny snow (slush) fields to the J\u00e4ger monument. The monument rises up in the landscape of the Gr\u00fcnten and commemorates the 3000 members of the mountain troop regiment &#8220;J\u00e4gerregiment 3&#8221; who died in the First World War. Once there, we finally huddled together to enjoy our snack despite the brisk wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-jaegerdenkmal-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"J\u00e4ger monument on the Gr\u00fcnten.\" class=\"wp-image-13737\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-jaegerdenkmal-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-jaegerdenkmal-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-jaegerdenkmal-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-jaegerdenkmal.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"View from the J\u00e4ger monument to the surrounding mountain peaks.\" class=\"wp-image-13740\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-bergblick-denkmal-2-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After our well-deserved break and refreshment, we ran, probably partly out of curiosity and partly out of disorientation, unceremoniously the wrong side of the mountain a little bit downhill. The next signpost told us that there was no way back to our parking lot. So we went back and up the small piece again, past the J\u00e4ger monument and the transmission tower. Here we then turned right looking at Sonthofen and ran down many stairs through the forest, at the end of which we then came across the Gr\u00fcntenhaus hut. Since the weather was not very inviting for our snack outside anyway and more and more clouds were coming, which clouded the view a bit, we decided without further ado to stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-wolken-688x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Clouds above the mountain peaks at the Gr\u00fcnten.\" class=\"wp-image-13742\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-wolken-688x1024.jpg 688w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-wolken-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-wolken-768x1144.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-wolken-1031x1536.jpg 1031w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-wolken.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-felsen-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Rocks on the hike to the summit of the Gr\u00fcnten.\" class=\"wp-image-13744\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-felsen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-felsen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-felsen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-felsen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We took off our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/en\/tips-for-the-care-of-your-hiking-boots\/\">hiking boots full of mud<\/a> at the bottom of the hut and slipped into a pair of slippers provided for the guests of the Gr\u00fcntenhaus. Up the stairs we went into the rustic guest room, where we were immediately greeted in a friendly manner. There wasn&#8217;t much going on there &#8211; how could there be when there are hardly any hikers on the road. We felt right at home and the hut had a warm, cozy atmosphere. We can also recommend the food with a clear conscience. Our favorites: Pancake soup and Dampfnudel with vanilla sauce \ud83d\ude42 After the unplanned second refreshment and some petting for the little dog of our neighboring table, we slowly pulled ourselves together to start the descent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"796\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-huette-1024x796.jpg\" alt=\"View from the window of the Gr\u00fcntenhaus.\" class=\"wp-image-13746\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-huette-1024x796.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-huette-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-huette-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-huette-110x85.jpg 110w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-huette.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"866\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wanderung-gruenten-gruppenbild-1024x866.png\" alt=\"Maria with friends in the Gr\u00fcntenhaus.\" class=\"wp-image-13783\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wanderung-gruenten-gruppenbild-1024x866.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wanderung-gruenten-gruppenbild-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wanderung-gruenten-gruppenbild-768x650.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wanderung-gruenten-gruppenbild.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-hund-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dog in the Gr\u00fcntenhaus.\" class=\"wp-image-13750\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-hund-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-hund-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-hund-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-hund.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a while through the forest, passing small streams, we reached a wide forest road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-abstieg-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking trail during the descent from the Gr\u00fcnten in the Allg\u00e4u Alps.\" class=\"wp-image-13752\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-abstieg-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-abstieg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-abstieg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wanderung-gruenten-abstieg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We followed this for a short distance until we came to a fork on the right-hand side onto a narrow, stony path. When we reached the end of the descent, we recognized the tarred road that led to our parking lot. Only, unfortunately, we had ended up a little further down than we had planned. So in the end, our plan to be smart and save altitude meters by driving the car to the very end of the road took revenge \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, I can say that our first hike of the year was probably not the most spectacular, but the trip was definitely worth it. At this time of year, the Gr\u00fcnten is a good compromise when the uncertain snow and avalanche situation in the higher regions does not allow a relaxed hiking tour there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\"><em><strong>Also worth reading: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/en\/tour-tip-seebensee-drachensee-tyrol\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13005\">Hike to two of the most beautiful lakes in Tyrol &#8211; Seebensee and Drachensee.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our destination: the well-known mountain Gr\u00fcnten, the guardian of the Allg\u00e4u.
